Colts Trade for Trent Richardson

[nunusguy]

I don't get this trade either, that is from the standpoint of the Colts, but I think the Browns made a good move. Of course I wondered why they would part with the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 Draft for a running back. In this day and age of the pass-happy NFL didn't know anybody still drafted runners that high ?
And what could the Colts have gotten Tate for ? Oh I know that intradivisional trades are unusual but hypothetically speaking you've got to think that the Texans would really get interested in say a third-round pick for Tate if offered given his circumstances ? And high-draft picks, especially a teams first round pick, are an NFL organizations most highly valued assets.

I don't know why Tate wouldn't be considered highly valued by the Texans. Is Arian going to return to form? Can the team afford Arian next year or the year after?

The Browns reportedly have an eye on Tate as a free agent to replace Richardson: https://m.facebook.com/AdamSchefter/...11182732337160
